Helping with the general entertaining nitpickery - maybe "Nilly, could this be mathier?" instead? Sounds more natural, you know?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I am of the opinion as well that em dashes shouldn't have spaces around them when typsetting
Ack!!!! Go space! Choose space!

I don't remember who thought up the red plus signs. I know that I figured out that the only way to line up all the text was to have invisible plus signs in front of the rest of the rows. (check it out!)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Thanks for all the fish.
I think that dashes should have spaces around them - I always have.
